Not so good with ball in hand and it was only really some poor efforts from rovers that allowed them to score so freely in that 1st half. I think had carney been playing they'd probably have scored 60. they won't lose many if they play like that every week though
Pack is monstrous, and they were without some real top drawer quality in Carney, Aiton, Horo and Casty.

Spot on, it's good for the game! I hope Catalan do well also!

Probably heading for the pub at the corner with Marfleet Lane which when I lived near there for over 20 years was nicknamed "Red 'ell".
I would'nt call that a complete performance from Catalan by any stretch,the 1st half was but the 2nd half was scrappy and they lost their way i thought. Defence was bang on for the 80 but a complete performance with ball in hand would have seen them hit 60+ with ease. They stopped throwing the ball wide and went one up which you can excuse with the lead they had but in my eyes the 2nd half was scrappy so i wouldn't call it a perfect 80 minutes,as funny as it was,lol.
Dixon's like a rabbit in the headlights and was never getting any where near catching Mylers bomb,very poor attempt.

I suppose when you're playing such pi$$ poor opposition like Rovers, you can afford to take your foot off the gas once you've won the game by half time.
Dixon has some great attributes, but is severely lacking in basic rugby skills. Great dancer though.

Obviously couldn't find any books they wanted to borrow at the KCOM Lightstream Library.
